Question
A differential manometer is connected at the two points A and B of two pipes as shown below. Pipe A contains a liquid of
specific gravity of 1.5 while pipe B contains liquid of specific gravity of 0.9. The pressures at A and B are 1
1.8 kgf/cm2 respectively. Find the difference in mercury level (h) in the differential manometer.
(1 kgf = 9.81 N; acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s; specific weight of water = 9.8 KN/m3)
Sp. gr.= 1.5
PA 1 kgf /cnf
3m
Sp. gr=0.9
2.0 m
Pe = 1.8 kgf /cm?
h
O a. 0.33 m
O b.0.18 m
O C. 0.15 m
O d. 0.74 m
